I've joined Crustacean Compassion's selfie wall to show that I support the inclusion of decapod crustaceans in the Sentience Bill

[CrustaceanCompassion @crab_welfare]

This excellent new scientific paper reviews the #sentience & welfare concerns with killing methods for decapod crustaceans & calls for changes in animal welfare legislation to protect these animals from suffering through inhumane slaughter techniques 👏👏https://t.co/Wi8tnkXdCw

🚨 In our new paper in @J_Exp_Biol, @DrMartinJohnHow and I show that five different #crustacean species do not use the #polarization of light alone for their gaze stabilisation. 🦀🦐🦞

"A precautionary approach should be adopted to safeguard these animals from possible pain and suffering"

It's crucial that animals are recognised as sentient beings in law so they can be legally protected. This #FlashbackFriday we look back to April 2019 when @KerryMP spoke to the House of Commons about this and the work of Crustacean Compassion https://t.co/SGZy183ON6

Please RT! TODAY European Parliament @Europarl_EN European Parliament is voting on whether the barbaric practice of boiling crabs and lobsters alive should be banned. With @BritishVets among the 55 experts recognising their sentience on our open letter, of course it should! 🦀🦞

[CrustaceanCompassion @crab_welfare]

It should not be legal to boil any animal alive. Help us get crabs and lobsters protection under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 by signing our petition! #AnimalWelfare https://t.co/r1IvjHva6I

[CrustaceanCompassion @crab_welfare]

Three years ago, 55 animal welfare scientists, veterinary professionals and legal experts called on the government to protect crabs & lobsters in animal welfare legislation. We're still waiting and these animals are still suffering. The time to act is NOW. https://t.co/nwGLZJw3Hm

Let’s make 2021 the year that crustacean suffering ends and legal protection begins

#HappyNewYear2021

[CrustaceanCompassion @crab_welfare]

The closed border delays have left live decapods stranded in lorries

There has been no consideration of the animal suffering caused

Our beautiful Millie loves to get away to quiet places like the forest 🌲🌲 she requires someone with previous Collie experience and a space for her in her new home so she can have alone time or a safe place when they have visitors 💛 read more about Millie on our website.
